GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

This is a moist, spice-type cake...a good way to use some of those extra green tomatoes before frost hits. Sprinkle the finished cake with confectioners' sugar or frost with your favorite caramel or cream cheese frosting.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 cup raisins
hot water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 cup butter, melted
3 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 1/4 lbs green tomatoes, cored, seeded, and diced small
1 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
1 lb chilled cream cheese (two 8-oz packages)
8 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 pinch ground cinnamon, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter two 9-inch cake pans and lightly dust them with flour.
  • Place the raisins in a bowl and add hot water to cover; set aside. (Note from Julesong: you can use warm rum or other liquor, if you like.).
  • Sift the flour into a medium bowl, then add the salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir to combine.
  • In another large bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring, until a smooth batter forms.
  • Drain the raisins in a sieve.
  • Stir the walnuts, drained raisins, cored/diced tomatoes, and coconut flakes into the batter.
  • Pour an equal amount of batter into each prepared cake pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for about 60 minutes of until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. When done, remove from oven and let cake cool in pans on wire racks.
  • When cake is cool to the touch, slide a knife or icing spatula around the inside rim of each pan to loosen edges and carefully flip the cake layers onto the wire racks to continue cooling. (You can use an inverted plate on top of the pan, flip, and carefully transfer to racks, if you like.).
  • If you want to frost the cake, make the cream cheese frosting while layers are cooling.
  • To make the frosting, in a medium bowl beat together the cream cheese and butter with an electric or hand mixer until well blended.
  • Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
  • Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to beat until smooth.
  • Beat in cinnamon until incorporated. Use to frost the cake.
  • To frost cake: when cake is completely cooled place one layer on serving plate and, using a spatula, frost all over with half the frosting. Place second layer on top. Frost second layer with remaining frosting.

GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

I was overrun with green tomatoes that weren't going to ripen & found this recipe on Serious Eats. It is really tasty, something different other than making chutney with them. I halved the recipe and it was the perfect size for a loaf cake.

Provided by Mandy

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/3 cups vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3 cups green tomatoes, chopped (I pureed in a food processor)

Steps:

  • For the cake, adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 325°F Lightly coat cake pans with baking spray. Line bottoms of cake pans with parchment paper rounds and coat lightly with baking spray once again.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and nutmeg in medium bowl or on large sheet of parchment paper.
  • In large bowl, beat oil and sugar on medium speed until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add tomatoes and beat just until incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Decrease mixer speed to low and gradually add flour mixture to green tomato mixture. Mix just until combined, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl as necessary.
  • Divide batter equally between baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of cakes comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer cakes to cooling racks and cool in pans for 15 minutes. Invert cakes directly onto racks. Peel off and discard parchment lining and cool completely, about 90 minutes.

GREEN TOMATO BREAKFAST CAKE (OR PLUM)



Green Tomato Breakfast Cake (Or Plum) image

When Marion Burros ran this simple recipe in the New York Times, it became the paper's single most requested recipe. Based on a 40-year-old recipe for plum cake that first appeared in Marion Burros and Lois Levine's The Elegant but Easy Cookbook, this cake is just as good for dessert as it is for breakfast. We substituted green tomatoes for the plums originally called for, but you can use either.

GREEN TOMATO CAKE



Green Tomato Cake image

My mother had a lot of green tomatoes at the end of the season and I was looking for something to do with them. This sounded tempting. My 16-year-old nephew thought the cake looked good and asked what was in it. I told him to taste it then I would tell him. He tried it, liked it, then I told him. He was amazed. The original recipe called for 1 cup oil but I substituted applesauce for half the oil. The cake turned out very well. Delicious, moist, tasty.... truly wonderful cake.
